At schools that don’t allow freshman to pledge in the Fall the exact opposite of this is true. Come up North and you’d be criticized because if you didn’t pledge in the Spring that means you didn’t pledge freshman year at all, but rather waited until sophomore year. So at such a school “Not being a Fall pledge. TFM.” would be the accurate statement.

Conclusion- Not necessarily a TFM.

Postscript- There is no way around that logic, any tryhard that tries to suggest such an organization is inferior and ultimately NF for being primarily based around Spring pledges is obviously not comfortable with their own organization, as all tryhards are uncomfortable, and must overcompensate to feel “fratty” enough.
